My blog is now being read in 7 different countries and 3 continents. I never imagined that I would have so many readers so quickly. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for each and every visit :)
I had been hoping to post sooner, but on Valentine's Day, I was so excited to check the mail that I tripped and fell down a flight of stairs. My left wrist and hip took most of the hit, and I have the bruises to prove it. I decided to give myself a couple of days off from knitting and writing to make sure I didn't hurt myself even more.
Anyway, here is my progress on Baylee's sweater! So far, it has been a joy to knit. It's knit flat in 3 pieces. I can't remember the last time I knit something flat! It's a nice change, but almost a little awkward to get used to long straight needles again! The cable pattern is very simple. 3 cables with a double seed stitch between them. The longer it gets, the longer the more I like the pattern! I think the color really makes it pop. :)
Ravelry Pattern
Techniques used so far:
- Long-tailed cast on
- Knit
- Purl
- Basic cable (C6F)
Although I decided to go with the large pattern, the pattern calls for you to knit the cable pattern until it's a certain length, so I just didn't knit it for the full length of the large. This is the back, I'm about to start decreasing for the neck :)

Now it's time to have a Titanic movie night with the housemates :) Although I really like the movie, I pretty much have to stop watching it when the captain realizes the ship is going to sink. I bawl an embarrassing amount...
Happy Knitting!!

P.S. Please don't ask me about that sock.
